Laser therapy is a modern technology used to relieve tough pain and promote deep healing. It can also be used in a way similar to acupuncture but without needles to help people quit smoking and to control their weight.
Dr. Ken Goldman utilizes a class IV therapeutic laser, called the KLaser, which is the best type of therapeutic laser developed at this point. Laser therapy is non-invasive, painless, safe and very effective. Typical treatment time is just 15 minutes. We have had great success treating clients presenting with tough, chronic pain conditions.
Laser therapy is a unique therapy because it is not based on the development of heat but on the photochemical and photobiological effects in cells and tissues. Laser light positively stimulates the functions of injured cells. These positive effects include increased production of ATP (cellular energy). This means that if the cell is damaged and inflamed it can heal quicker with laser therapy. Even if the cell has undergone degenerative changes (such as arthritis), it can recharge itself with energy and begin to heal.
Dr. Goldman performing laser therapy on patientLaser therapy energizes cell function, promotes healing of damaged tissue, and helps restore body function. This healing can occur even after metabolic slow-downs due to immobility, traumas or surgical operations.
Laser therapy also stimulates blood and lymphatic microcirculation. This means that more oxygen and nutrition will get to the injured tissue. It also means that the drainage of cellular waste and toxins will improve. This leads to tissue healing.
